Bagging 27 out of 40 seats, the ZPM is set for a change of governance in Mizoram, with a vote share over 71%.

This makes a total of 27 seats that the ZPM has either won or is leading comfortably in, while the incumbent MNF has only 10 to show.

ZPM’s chief ministerial candidate Lalduhoma tells ANI, "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I will meet the governor, and the swearing-in will take place sometime this month."

Discussing Mizoram's financial challenges, he reiterated ZPM's commitment to addressing the issues inherited from the outgoing government, stating, "We are dedicated to fulfilling our commitments. Initiating financial reforms is crucial, and to achieve that, we are forming a resource mobilisation team."

The counting, conducted across 13 centres, commenced with the tallying of postal ballots, followed by the counting of votes cast through EVMs.

The voting on 7 November saw a high turnout of 80.66 per cent, so that Mizoram can expect to see a high-fidelity people's mandate. There has been talk of the effect of the neighbouring Manipur crisis impacting the election results in Mizoram. Today, that hypothesis will be proven either way

The Zoram People's Movement (ZPF) holds the lead in 13 seats, followed by the MNF in 8. The Congress and Others now lead in 2 constituencies each.

While ZPM has edged slightly into the lead — in 12 out of the 20 seats for which results have started coming in — it's still too early to say whether expert predictions of a hung Assembly will be overturned.

MNF still holds the lead in 6 constituencies, Congress and Others in one each.

Very early counting of postal ballots puts ZPM in the lead in 11 seats, with MNF in 6. Congress and others lead in one each for now.

Apart from the Mizo National Front (MNF) led by chief minister Zoramthanga, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Indian National Congress (INC) and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) are key contenders.
